Award Winning Ford Dealers
Ford is testing a new predictive smart headlight system to make driving in the dark easier and more comfortable, effectively showing drivers the way to go.
The prototype system, developed by engineers from Ford Research and Advanced Engineering Europe, uses GPS location data, advanced technologies and highly accurate street geometry information to accurately identify turns in the road ahead.
An algorithm calculates the trajectory and speed of the vehicle to proactively adjust the direction of its headlights, providing optimal light coverage of bends, junctions – and even hazards lurking around the corner.
If the vehicle encounters a stretch of road where location data is not available, the system will work alongside camera and steering based dynamic headlight bending technologies to continue to intelligently light the road until the location data improves.
